    Can't wait to see the look on his face after he finds out how enjoyable it is. Take him on a good day, show him about all the safety stuff you have, the life jackets, how they work and all that jazz. Let him drive the boat! Kind of treat it like taking a kid fishing for the first time (minus sitting on your lap while you drive)

    Most importantly, take lots of pictures....

    Oh, and after he finds out how great crappie fishing is, work on a screen name for him to join Crappie.Com

    Maybe it's just me, I don't allow anyone in my boat that can't swim. That includes my dogs. PFD's are fine I know. My grandson wasn't allowed in the boat until he took swimming lessons, in which he did.

    unfortunately he is afraid of water for a reason, until that is resolved I don't fore see his first time being very enjoyable for him. I hope I am wrong.

    Invite him to fish off your docks first so he can feel the water under him while he hammers those crappies you have there. Once he gets comfortable he may be okay going out on the toon. I have a friend who can't relax in a boat unless he can see the shoreline.
